Yesterday we spent time on the beach in beautiful 65 weather. We learned from Ed and Shelly that we didn’t venture far enough down the beach the day before to find the most shells. Turns out you have to wade through the rip currents and quicksand to get to the other side of the beach.Continue reading “On The Beach”

After spending time in Jacksonville eating and drinking too much we left Saturday night to start our trek to Marco Island. When we couldn’t find a spot for the night closer to Marco we stopped in Bradenton and found a decent hotel for the night. When I say decent, what I really mean is thatContinue reading “Made It To Marco”

Finally crossing the border into Florida we spent the first night in Jacksonville with our friends Jim and Linda. Our escape from Izzie’s frozen grip was successful but before we could celebrate, another of her ugly cousins is bringing more cold to the area. So…headed south to St. Augustine before we were frosted out. WhatContinue reading “Lighting up St. Augustine”

After two nights of being sequestered in Columbus at the Marriott we finally hit the road and made it to Savannah. The downtime gave us opportunity to put together more of a plan for our stay in Florida. Great news, we now have 2 more nights of reservations, I almost feel like an adult. UnfortunatelyContinue reading “Cold in Savannah”

Marc, “Let’s head east to see what Savannah is all about then head south to Florida, weather will be great.” Joanie, “I agree, what are the chances that we will get bad weather while we’re on the road?” Winter Storm Izzy, “Hey Marco and Joanie, hold my beer.” The good news is that we haven’tContinue reading “Literary Monroeville, AL”

Today we spent most of the day driving East while Joanie started looking at stop destination for the night. Seems that anything she wants to see is in either north or south Mississippi and out of our route. It was a hard call but we decided not to divert off route to see the coonContinue reading “Vicksburg and East”

After a quick bath for Little Al we dropped him off at his temporary home in Southlake with his new pal Lucy. Our first stop in Bossier City turned into a catastrophe for us financially, if you have stock in Caesar’s Palace you should be swimming in penny’s. We’re both all masked up to hideContinue reading “We’re Off”

After months of zero communication or blogging recaps from my Webmaster and Editor I decided to have a serious discussion on their future with my popular blog. Looking them both straight in the mirror, I let them know this was unacceptable and I demanded better updates in the future. We’ll see, I couldn’t seem toContinue reading “Let’s Go”

After the stress and absolute mind numbing pain of thinking about driving back into the heat of the devils den (Texas), we both decided we needed some relaxation. Our solution was to throw stupid money as a solution and spend a night at Ojo Caliente Resort and Spa. Our one night stay was wonderful asContinue reading “Relaxing in Ojo Caliente”

We’ve been off the grid for the last two nights enjoying all of the nature that Mesa Verde National Park has to offer. We didn’t get to see any bears but the deer are the biggest (antlers) and so tame you have to tell them to get the h#$@ out of your stuff. This hasContinue reading “Mesa Verde National Park”
